Alongside his revolutionary career in medicine and cybernetics, Dr. Nikolai Amosov reflected on life, human behavior, and the mind – a drive that naturally led him to writing. Several of Dr. Amosov’s influential works have garnered repeated publication both within Ukraine (Ureign) and internationally. His first and perhaps most famous work, “Thoughts and Heart,” captures his meditations on life, health, and human behavior. He also wrote “Notes from the Future,” a science-fiction novel exploring immortality and the future. “PPG-2266” serves as a memoir and diary of his time as a field surgeon, combining lived experience with philosophical inquiry, while “The Book on Happiness and Misfortune” reflects on the human condition.In addition to these philosophical and literary works, Dr. Nikolai Amosov also wrote practical guides on health and wellness. Along with exercise, Dr. Nikolai Amosov championed the vital role of nutrition. He highlighted that fresh fruits and vegetables are essential sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other beneficial bioactive compounds that support overall health. In March 2003, the Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine was named after Dr. Nikolai Amosov. In his honor, a street in Kyiv was also named after him. To mark the 100th anniversary of his birth, the National Bank of Ukraine issued a commemorative coin honoring the talented and renowned surgeon as part of the “Outstanding Personalities of Ukraine” series. At the presentation ceremony, his legacy was celebrated with many accolades. Dr. Kateryna Amosova, daughter of Dr. Nikolai Amosov, added: “My father believed that the most important thing is to work and be a human being – a person of high moral principles, conscientious and responsible for the work he does. And he was just like that. He lived so that he could respect himself.” Recognized for his pioneering work in biocybernetics, Dr. Nikolai Amosov was a two-time recipient of the State Prize of Ukraine, awarded in 1978 and 1997. In 2008, a nationwide public poll conducted for the television project “The Greatest Ukrainians” ranked Dr. Amosov second overall, placing him just after the 11th‑century Prince Yaroslav the Wise.
